Linux From Scratch - Version 6.6

Chapter 9. The End

9.3. Rebooting
the System

Now that all of the software has been installed, it is time to reboot
your computer. However, you should be aware of a few things. The
system you have created in this book is quite minimal, and most
likely will not have the functionality you would need to be able to
continue forward. By installing a few extra packages from the BLFS
book while still in our current chroot environment, you can leave
yourself in a much better position to continue on once you reboot
into your new LFS installation. Installing a text mode web browser,
such as Lynx, you can easily view the BLFS book in one virtual
terminal, while building packages in another. The GPM package will
also allow you to perform copy/paste actions in your virtual
terminals. Lastly, if you are in a situation where static IP
configuration does not meet your networking requirements, installing
packages such as Dhcpcd or PPP at this point might also be useful.

installation for the first time! First exit from the chroot
